Hi @SDW. While you can sell digital items, the actual digital files themselves have to be fulfilled by you currently — either by email, or access to an online repository that you send via email, or something similar. I know that there have been requests to allow sellers to upload the actual e-items and attach them to our Square items for automatic download after payment, but I’ve not seen any announcements of beta tests or anything that indicates it is coming soon.

Regards,

Thanks for posting this, @Bitship. That looks like a product I’ll be adding to my toolbox to recommend to sellers looking for this functionality. I wish you had it listed in the Square App Store. Do you plan to do that? That’s usually where we send folks looking for solutions from third-party vendors?
